AMERICAN IDOL - THE FINAL SEASON

FC do watch it, it is very cute and only 5 minutes or so. It won't take you any time to watch it.

Yes the list seems to change. I saw Bucky twice but only saw Taylor the second time and didn!t recall seeing Ace either time.

Yes, Bucky was there and he is worth $1,000,000.00  So happy for him because I loved him!!

I will watch it for sure Canear!   Gotta see my little Mac while I can!! 

FC, Dalton tells Mac he is so handsome and Mac just doesn't know what,to,say. Funny

Aw, so sweet!  My Mac sure is adorable!!

OK, watched it!  They are indeed 4 sweet and adorable young people!!  Trent is goofy!  Mac is like Jason - always seems high   Dalton's sense of humor is a little out there as in I don't get everything.  LaP is just very down to earth.

Now I want a Facebook chat with LaP's darling baby girl!!!!!!!! 

This is a quote from Kris Allen:

American Idol is ending soon, and you’re returning for the finale (April 7). Do you know what you are performing?
I do. I just got the call yesterday. I was always going to go. I knew I was doing something, but I just didn’t know what until then. I don't know if I can release that information. I do know it is going to be great.

Could it be Heartless or another one of your standout moments?
It won’t be that. It’ll be a group performance with some of the former Idols. It’s going to be really cool.

Ok I am sobbing my eyes out.
This is really it. The end of Idol. The show that brought me on line, helped me discover great talent and make so many of my now dear friends.  It is overwhelmingly depressing, that next year I will not have Idol to look forward to. 😭

Jason Castro and his Daughter Maddie will be there also.

I know.........I didn't watch it for many years because of Clay not winning (yeah, I know! duh) but everyone here has become a friend because of Idol. It probably won't truly hit home until next season when it isn't there in the Spring. I'm really sad that Adam can't be there even though he was already on...or that Philip won't be there. I just hope Kelly doesn't have the baby on stage! I am grateful for this last season, though, in that it has one last Idol for me in Dalton. I am very excited to see what the future brings for this incredible young man.

I thought I read that Kelly's part was being taped?  I read that Fanty, Latoya and J-Hud were being taped to be shown.  J-Lo's performance will be taped.

Hathor - Jason and Maddie will just be in the audience on performance night.  He cannot be at the finale as he has a gig. 

I am sad that Adam will not be there too, but I am thrilled he got to perform his new single, get to talk for awhile, and was shown a lot during the season.  Idol was good to him!!

Yep, next year will be sad.  But I am not going to miss the manipulations.  This week's Reality Check/TV Line did a great job of talking about what was done to Mac last week and how Mac should be the one to come in third but due to obvious manipulations he won't.  I was going to bring the You Tube here - but figured it would just piss off the Dalton people. 

But, I agree with them and I am mad about it and it actually makes saying goodbye to the show easier.  That crap never goes on on The Voice so that is my show now.

You're right FC it would make us angry and it wouldn't serve any purpose. We could go on about the manipulations against Dalton as well but that serves no purpose either. It is what it is. They are all more well known now than before the show and it's what they do after that really matters.

It should be like The Voice.  Kind and positive to everyone.  No one is ever put down or insulted.  Gentle helpful critiques.  So much love and respect shown to every contestant by every coach. They let the votes fall where they may. 

That is how Idol should have always been. 

Mac would no doubt have left 4th anyway without ripping him and throwing him under the bus - and if they don't let him sing this week like they didn't Sonika - that is his last remembrance of performing in the competition.  It was uncalled for.

FC of course you would agree with TV LINE as you wanted Mac to stay over Dalton, and Slezak and Melinda have loathed Dalton all season.  

I prefer to believe Dalton saved his own ass by giving two incredible performances and Bird Set Free was knocked out the Park.  Many other bloggers feel the way I do.

Yes the slamming of Mac was uncalled for, not saying he was sick wrong.   But Dalton didn't do anything to Mac.

The judges should have torched LaPorcha.  Soulless perfection and over singing forgetting lyrics etc.

I am still hoping for a shocking surprise boot. That LaPorcha goes.  That going first and being bad hurt her. That the vocal purists all voted Trent.

Mac went further on idol than he did on the voice. I still refuse to believe he is out.
I do not think the Voice would be the right venue for Dalton.  Rock Star yes where performance was also critical.

I am glad you like the Voice. I never could get into it. I haven't liked any winners except Sawyer. The only contestant I loved is Melanie Martinez.  They have way to many bombastic singers and they are not my cuppa.

Good grief Scott just totally screwed Dalton, giving him Bruce Springsteen Dancing In The Dark. So not right for Dalton.  

Gave Trent Can't drink you away by Justin Timberlake which is great for Trent.

Yes, he did go further on Idol.

Yes, I LOVE The Voice!!!!  Love all the coaches and the music and awesome singers!!

OH I love both those songs!!  Great song for Trent!  Dalton can Daltonize it!  He will do fine!  I used to dance my butt off to that song!!

Any word on Mac's song??

I don't think there is a chance in hell anyone else is leaving tomorrow than Mac..... 

OH - and nobody said Dalton did anything to Mac!  Not me and not Michael or Melinda.  They blamed TPTB and said the judges were told to do that and I am believe that!

So, we have Scott's choice for LaP, Trent and Dalton but no word on Scott's choice for Mac....

Could it be because he will not get to sing one???!! 

This is going to be a fantastic finale. So many returning contestants. It's hoping to be bittersweet too. So many great moments over the years.

I wish they could get even more!  Like every season's Top 10!!  That would be so fun!

Rebel Yell wasn't right for Dalton either and it was one of his best. Hathor, get yourself off the ledge. :)

Canear Rebel Yell was right up Daltons punky rock Alt lane.

Springsteen is not.  

Mac is singing Halliluja as his Hometown pick. No place seems to know Scotts pic for Mac.

Mac is performing:

Rhiannon


This is assuming the 4th place finisher gets to sing.  Sonika didn't so I have no idea how this is going to work.

Scotts choice for Trent is great. Cant drink you way by Justin Timberlake.   Great song, current. 

Imo Daltons and Macs suck. Songs from the 70s. Ughhh.

Everyone is saying oh but Dalton can do the Matt Kearney version. OMG it's worse. Now there is a guy who droans and can't sing.

It slow and morose.
